Topeka Daily Capital, Wednesday.

Topeka Daily Capital, Wednesday.
Mr.. S. G. Robb, who was yesterday ap-
pointed commissioner Of forestry by
Governor Martin, is resident Of Trego
county in this state. He has resided

Atlanta. He is commander of Collyer
Post, G. A. R., he having served the Post

MORE TREES.
Governor Martin Appoints S. G
Robb Forestry Commissioner.
Topeka Capital, Wednesday.


Governor Martin yesterday appointed
Silas G. Robb, of Trego county, to be
commissioner of forestry. This Office was
created by the last session of the legisla-
ture, it's object being to encourage the
planting and growing of forest trees
In the state. 1t will be the duty of the
Commissioner Robb to procure donation
of two suitable tracts of land Of not less
than 160 acres each at points not to exceed
three miles from station on the Union
Pacific railway, Kansas division, and on
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa F'e railway,
respectively. These tracts shall remain
the property of the state, in the event OF
the continuation of these forestry stations
by the state for the period of ten years
from the date of their establishment.
The commissioner of forestry will estab-
lish an experimental forest station upon
each Of said tracts Of land, the object OF
which shall be the promotion of the art
OF forestry, and where he shall plant seeds
and cuttings of various kinds of forest
trees, especially such as are likely to
thrive in that portion OF Kansas known
as the plains, the seedlings or trees grow
ing from which he will issue, free Of
charge, at each station, to any resident
of the state of Kansas who may apply for
the same, in such quantities and under
such restrictions as may in the judgment
of said commissioner be advisable. The
commissioner shall give such information
as may be in his possession, by letter,
circular or otherwise, upon the subject
of forest trees, and shall give all persons
visiting these experimental stations the
benefit of his experience and that Of his
predecessors. The commissioner will
annually make report to the governor,
giving a detailed account of his proceed
ings. He shall also embody in such re-
port detailed account of his experiments
in tree growing, noting the failures, as
well as the cause Of success, to the end
that reliable information may be dissem-
mated. 1t shall be the duty of the COM
missioner, when requested by petition Of
twenty persons in any county in the
state, to 60 into that county and hold
one or more meetings for the dissent
nation Of knowledge upon the subject of
forestry.
Commissioner Robb will receive an
annual salary Of $1,000 per year, and
there was also appropriated $1,000 for
the purchase of trees, seedlings, etc.
In addition to the above, which is syn
opsis of the bill, about $4,000 annually is
appropriated for labor, help, and other
necessary expenses, not to mention $500
for incidental travelling expenses of the
commissioner for each of the full fiscal
years 1888 and 1889. II Editor World.

Last "Wednesday morning about
8 olclook lie boiler house Of the plan.
ingmill at lhc Bradley lRamsssy Lumber
Company saw mill, at Goosport, some.
Two miles north Of the Court House,
was discovered to be on ERE aud ihe
alarm given, which was answered by
the fire department. But owing to the
distance and some delay in getting
horses 10 attach TO both the steam and
hand engines, the building was almost
entirely consumed when they reached
the scene of the eonhagratiun- Both
Hook and Ladder Companies, however,
were on the grounds when the engines
arrived and were doing good work IN
the way OF tearing down the burning
building and a connecting shed between
1 the boiler house and the planning mill.
The engines werenot long in getting
unto position, ont, unIortuhatsly' "AA'
James P. 1Geary, the engineer of the
steamer, was absent from town, and
1t was not until the services of a loco
motive engineer was secured, that No
4 / got stream on the flames. Th'
Young Americans however lost nj
time, and in few minutes after ther
arrival they were throwing asoilt
stream of water on the burning build
ling, and together with the steame
soon extinguished the last spark. Tn
boiler, we arc informed, is but littl
if any damaged, and as the work O
rebuilding the boiler house was immt
diately commenced, we imagine tn
delay in running the planer will b
but for q few days. The loss will nc
exceed $4,000.

Mr. w r. Hargrove, 81 SuEartuwn,
made Us 4 pleasant call this week He
wac lntown for the purpose Of making
some purchases, and was very much
pleased with tle bargains lie secured.
lie iuformea lbs that Alexandria has
every assurance Of again securing the
Sugartown trade, because the farmers.
are confident that with a compress in
operation here, and cotton buyers 10
buy Tie cotton for cash, that they viii
find this market much better than
elsewhere. Besides no inland town
can compete with Alexandria in sell
ing at low prices, because. under the
iutesstate commerce law, river towns
secure much lower freight rates, and
can almost afford to sell at profits
which they make on frcights.-7own
Talk.
Whether Mr.. Hargrove's prognosti'
cations come to pass or NOT, it must
lie admitted that Alexandria, with {
compress and cheap freight rates, viii
no tlonbt be a formidable rival o.
Lake Charles for the trade of lin
northern portion of Calcasieu parish
So, in our opinion, il there are no
some immediate steps taken to bniH
a good and substantial road from
this place to the Sugartown section
notwithstanding Lake Charles is th
nearest market and can sell goods a
cheap and pay as much for cotton a
the Red river town-Alexandria wi
not only handle our cotton, wool, etc
but its merchants will sell the peopl
in the northern part Of the parish d
they consume. This,is a matter this
Interests our merchants more direct
than any other class Of our people,
it robs them of large business legit
mately theirs, and we hope they wi
take the proper steps to avert the IN
pending danger, by making an effot
to handle the present cotton GRO
which We believe can be aeccmplishe
by a little exerlion ron their part /
+, the way of good prices for the feec
staple and cheap merchandise.
